Benefits of technology

This system allows for adaptive patient selection and data propagation across multiple applications, supporting various technologies without the need for software upgrades, thereby expanding the customer base and reducing implementation costs.

Problems solved by technology

For software vendors this requirement limits the available universe of potential healthcare provider customers to only those that have an implementation targeted at the identification technology that has already been chosen by the potential customer.
From the perspective of an application software provider, the customer either targets a specific patient selection technology or incurs the cost of an alternative implementation.

Embodiment Construction

[0009]A processor, as used herein, operates under the control of an executable application to (a) receive information from an input information device, (b) process the information by manipulating, analyzing, modifying, converting and / or transmitting the information, and / or (c) route the information to an output information device. A processor may use, or comprise the capabilities of, a controller or microprocessor, for example. The processor may operate with a display processor or generator. A display processor or generator is a known element for generating signals representing display images or portions thereof. A processor and a display processor comprises any combination of, hardware, firmware, and / or software.

[0010]An executable application, as used herein, comprises code or machine readable instructions for conditioning the processor to implement predetermined functions, such as those of an operating system, a context acquisition system or other information processing system, f...

Abstract

A context information processing system used for accessing medical data includes an acquisition processor for acquiring configuration information indicating a type of a particular patient identification tag reader device of a plurality of different types of tag reader device and a format of patient identification data used by the particular patient identification tag reader device. An interpreter processes patient identification data received from the particular patient identification tag reader device using the received configuration information to provide a particular patient identifier. A context processor updates a record indicating that a current patient context, including a patient identifier, is compatible with the particular patient identifier.

Description

[0001]This application derives priority from Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 733,610, filed on Nov. 4, 2005.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to the field of data processing, and more particularly to a context information processing system for the acquisition and characterization of data, and in particular medical data, contained within remotely located discrete identification media.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]A patient in a healthcare facility is typically fitted with some type of device, such as a bracelet or other device, in order to positively identify that patient while they are receiving services. Existing remote patient management systems frequently utilize one of a plurality of identification technologies, for example, either barcode or radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, to accomplish patient identification and selection. Both the hardware and software deployed when implementing such a system are typically dedicated to th...
